Unfortunately, Dad's swallow test didn't go as well as we hoped.  He is still progressing, which is important, but not ready for full go on foods and drinks.  We haven't had time to talk to the therapist as of yet, so I don't know where we go or when we test again.  I will let you know.  We really need him to pass, so he can move to an assisted living facility.

If you get the chance to send Happy Birthday's to my Mom, I know it would mean the world to her.  Her birthday is Saturday!

Thank your for your love and support!

Dad's swallow test is next Tuesday.  Please send some extra prayers his way.  This will hopefully allow him to eat and drink as he pleases.  No more thickened, gross drinks! 

Dad has been a little on the emotional side lately.  With the lack of verbalization, we are still guessing at the source.  When you visit, please ask him questions that he will need to verbalize the answer.  I know this is hard and difficult for all.  He truly needs to push those connections through. Thank you in advance for what will feel a little uncomfortable in the beginning.  I promise you aren't being cruel, you are helping!

Mom's birthday is coming up on the 17th.  I know she would appreciate the love you send her way this upcoming week!  I will be flying in on the 14th for a week. 

Thank you for your love and support!  We cannot express how much this has meant to us on the long road of recovery!
